Leadership Compass: Cloud IAM/IAG - 71121

Report Details

The Cloud IAM market is currently driven by products that focus on providing Single Sign-On to various Cloud services as their major feature and business benefit. This will change, with two distinct evolutions of more advanced services forming the market: Cloud-based IAM/IAG (Identity Access Management/Governance) as an alternative to on-premise IAM suites, and Cloud IAM solutions that bring a combination of directory services, user management, and access management to the Cloud.

The impact of GDPR on businesses will be far bigger than most currently expect. [...]
